Al Khemet is placed somewhere between art and comics. It was first exhibited at Høstutstillingen 2018, Norway’s largest marking of contemporary art that takes place in Oslo every autumn. However, Al Khemet was always intended to be presented in book format, and here it finally is.

Hexagon is a stand alone follow up to the book Squidologi from earlier this year. Thomas Falla Eriksen has made a wordless creative fantasy in time and space. He gets his visual inspiration from classical European artists like Moebius and Casa, but is also inspired by music and movies from the eighties. As in Squidologi the story is a playful take on conspiracy theories, theology, quantum physics and sci fi literature. This time he specially uses mythology and symbols linked to the planet Saturn.
